ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

In a labor of love, celebrated folk/rock artists Rex Fowler of Aztec Two-Step and Tom Dean of Devonsquare have teamed up with Tom’s former band mate Alana MacDonald and a host of talented musicians who provide backing on acoustic and electric guitars, bass, cello, violin, mandolin, accordion, chromatic harmonica and percussion.

WFUV and Satellite Radio DJ Pete Fornatale wrote: “With these intelligent heartfelt renditions of Lennon’s best known songs, The John Lennon Song Project ranks right up there with the very best Lennon interpreters ever.”

The arrangements on this offering are simple, well thought out, and hauntingly gorgeous. The beautiful harmonies woven between delicate acoustic guitar arrangements are a loving tribute to John Lennon. The addition of Alana's fantastic vocals and instrument work, as well as the brilliance of the musical guests only adds icing to an already delicious cake! Looking forward to the supporting tour!

Rex Fowler of Aztec Two-Step and his project mate Tom Dean of Devonsquare have taken their respect, admiration and affection for John to a whole new level on this CD. Their stream of consciousness approach to the Lennon catalog is completely unique and the perfect vehicle to convey and demonstrate the many layers, moods and textures of John’s greatest music. It’s all right here: the romantic, the angry, the hurtful and the dreamlike. One listen to these intelligent, heartfelt covers will convince you that Rex and Tom have been infused with the spirit of John Lennon and that they rank right up there with the very best Lennon interpreters ever. Now, imagine that!
